ThreatWatch is a snapshot of the data breaches hitting organizations and
individuals, globally, on a daily basis.

It is not an authoritative list, since many compromises
are never reported or even discovered.

The information is based on accounts published
by outside news organizations and researchers.

We have tried to provide you with a sample of the most prevalent and interesting cyber
events. Each incident chronicled includes the suspected attackers' methods of
penetration and apparent target to help highlight patterns of activity and emerging
threats. The records are limited to episodes where data actually was compromised.
These are not accounts of new viruses, spam, or malicious email campaigns that might
lead to breaches.

Some of the events cited are more damaging than portrayed, while others may later
turn out not to be hacks at all: as you’ll see, the number of people affected is
one of the hardest measures to track.

About the map: the global map shows the location of the most recent breaches cited in the
ThreatWatch database. When available, we also show the location of the hackers responsible
for the breach.
